Is it possible to separate DS runtime from the server

Hi
I am just wondering if it is possible to install Datastage runtime separately from the rest of the server.
This is my scenario.
Currently i have Datastage installed on an AIX machine. I have my unix scripts (ksh) in a folder on this same machine.
When the unix script is invoked it does whatever it does and then calls dsjob to execute a datastage job on the server.
I am thinking of moving away from AIX and switch to a LINUX machine for running my datastage server - for cost reasons.
But i don't want to start modifying my ksh scripts to run on Linux (though most of them should require no modification for ksh running on linux - right ? )
So i was thinking of installing the DS server on linux but just the runtime on an AIX machine on which the unix script will execute.
Does this make sense ?
If that is not possible, can i just mount the directory that contains dsjob executable from the linux machine to my AIX machine and invoke dsjob that way from my AIX machine ?
